Will the Auzen X-FI™ Prelude 7.1 have the same 4Gb problem as the X-Fi?

Does anyone know if the new Auzen X-FI™ Prelude 7.1 will have the same lousy 4Gb+ problem as the X-Fi series from Creative as Auzen is relying in Creative for their drivers?

In case you aren't aware of it, if you install 4Gb or more of RAM in a PC with an X-Fi card in it you lose ALL the EAX and hardware buffer functions of the card - so you're basically left with software audio for games

oops, should have clarified my original post by saying I'm using XP64 Pro. Yeah, just search Creative's forums for X-Fi and 4Gb - basically anyone using XP64 Pro with 4Gb or RAM or more sees their card neuter itself - disable memory remapping (so your rig drops down to 3Gb) or remove a couple of gig and the card goes back to normal

Yeah - mind you, there hasn't been an XP64 driver update since October...
